Warm sounding cables - non fatiguing


Any suggestions on reasonably priced cables which are non - fatiguing (not bright or overly detailed particularly in the upper frequency regions). Currently using tubes with Millersound cables but sound is a tad bright -- anyone else had this experience with Millersound (similar to JPS).

I do not have experience with your cables, but my advice is bite the bullet and change your components. My experience with "warm" or forgiving cables is that they invariably rob the music of life - and I do include Audience cables in that claim. Warm cables seem to me to achieve their effect in one or more of three ways - first by acting as a filter, which slows high frequencies, second by smoothing over detail, third by compressing dynamics. I reckon you get a better result by using cables that are fast and open through the range and achieve timbral balance by matching your components well. Just my opinion based on trying many of the "warmer" cables.
The one that does it for me at a good price Stehno is the Luminous Synchestra Reference - fast and weighty bass, full mids and the highs in the right place - no bloat, no grain, very transparent and fast - and outstanding dynamics across the spectrum. Not warm, not slow, not forgiving - but as neutral as a neutral thing.
